And so, our story of Crime and Punishment and Donuts continues… In this episode we meet the 3DD Kitty for the first time (Unless you already ogled her in the calendar)… We’ll be seeing more of her in just a bit – but first, Bunz & Katz are off hippity hop to the Donut Shop…
Yes, if you are wondering, this seemingly is a bit of a Fearless Fosdick moment – and why not? After all, he is my Ideal!! Thank you Al Capp and thank you Julie Newmar!!
So the hot chick is blowing out the window of a jewelry store with a bazooka in the last panel…but, in the panels before, how did she hide the bazooka in her costume?
Well I guess ole Crumby Clown ordered up a plate of the mayhem to go after all. He got it and he’s gone. I notice them passing “Kane’s Grocery” – good one. (I assume that that’s a nod to whom I think it is and that I’m not being too clever by half again.) Woof! Check out the… attributes on that nekomimi! No wonder Katz looks like he’s going to short circuit.
Ok Bob, as long as we’re asking cartoon questions: why is it that whenever a cartoon character goes all sex-crazed they act like a dog? I mean, what’s randier than an old tomcat? Things that make you go Hmmmmm…
Fearless Fosdick. Blast from the past. Bunz needs a large bullet hole through her bat. (AND before anyone asks – it went back into the extra dimensional space orb/fanny-pack hovering over her tailbone.)
If you look closely at the top panel of page 110, Though the lettering is bit too small to actually read, you’ll see that Bunz & Katz are standing under a streetlamp outside of Kane’s Grocery (just next door to B. Finger’s Flop House)… though I notice now, that the window seems broken out… Um… Well, apparently Mr. Kane engages an’ effective all night Glazier Service – so that when our nominal protagonists pass by again the window has been restored… That’s my story, an’ I’m stickin’ with it!
Bill asks, “why is it that whenever a cartoon character goes all sex-crazed they act like a dog?” Well, that’a time-hopnored schtick that goes back at least to Medieval times… see, during the Middle Ages, the monastic rule of silence was enforced in the scriptoria of the monasteries, where the literature of the ancients was preserved and copied… and any monk who wanted to peruse the works of Ovid (the closest thing they had to Playboy in those days) was expected to signal his sinful wish to the librarian by scratching his ear like a dog… Not with his hind leg, obviously, but close enough to signify the meaning… So today, when we see a cartoon character panting and howling, or when Fats Waller drawls, “Aw, you dawg you,” they are going way, way back…
(See I was going to post this and then I found “Epic Lives and Monasticism in the Middle Ages”; and there it was “…a Clunaic monk could silently request a pagan book by impersonating a dog scratching it’s ear…”)
This means you win my medieval really, seriously obscure trivia award. I’m impressed.

It was off-panel… and if you can ask questions about WWII surplus munitions while she is pointing those warheads at you, then you are no real Fanboy…
Yep, a Bazooka is one way to Crack a Safe! Though dunno if there’d be any jewelry left undamaged or unmelted inside it…
Walt is correct, the 3DD Kitty’s Army Surplus M1A1 is apparently leaning against the wall, just off panel, when first we see her…

DW – my BS meter is pegged out and smokin.

I was wondering when CW would show up – 3DD is very clever…
And the glasses were a nice touch, too.
Glasses? She’s wearing glasses? Um… Oh yeah. So she is.
June calendar page. Mmmmm…nice. Girls in bikinis. Some things never get old.
